Date<\/strong><\/em>: Sunday 4 September 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A short entry today \u2013 we have been driving all day and it is now late at night and I am exhausted!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We left our comfy hotel in Ingenio Juarez after breakfast and first drove back into the Formasa Natuaral Reserve, looking [unsuccessfully] for the quebracho crested tinamou.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We had breakfast on the road (Mate and chip\u00e1) and then started the long drive back to Formosa, stopping for lunch at Las Lomitas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We had roast goat, which was appropriate as we had seen so many roadside goats in Western Formosa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For the whole of our Formosa trip we had been hoping to see a giant anteater. Although possible to see in Formosa they are being re-introduced in Corrientes. Today we finally saw two, but sadly both roadkill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Bird of the day \u2013 a turquoise fronted parrot. This is the \u2018talking parrot\u2019, and it was good to see one flying freely rather than in a cage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Arrived safely in Formosa at 20.30. No supper and straight to bed after this reduced diary entry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tomorrow I drive to Mercedes, in Corrientes, dropping Ariel at  a reserve on the way where he is working as a park ranger. I think (hope, even) I can bring things down to a less exhausting tempo next week \u2013 though have enjoyed and been impressed by Ariel\u2019s skills and enthusiasm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
